| i'm back in spritown...
and i like it. it's hard to live here without the independence and individuality i experience in columbia, but it's still awesome. i love my friends and family here... although i feel like i just disappoint my parents if i don't spend all my time with them. i wish they'd just understand how much my friends mean to me. they are fabulously awesome.
i do miss columbia already however. i know that being away from the crossing will suck, and i really wish i could have stayed up there to participate in project: columbia. it will be so fun and impacting for the lucky people who get to be there. i am sooo excited to move into my house for next year! 504 will be freaking amazing!
the peanut butter puddle is the best drink in spritown by far;
the Cambridge is the best drink in columbia... and maybe even the world-- if it's made right.
point to ponder:
should i defy my parents and get my lip pierced? hummmm.... you may discuss the pros and cons with me if you so choose.

| did you know that country kitchen is open twenty four hours a day and has wireless internet? well, it is/does. i found that out last night when i was trying to study, so my friends and i went there. it was a good time, but quite weird. who goes to country kitchen to study?
i really miss Jamaica and everything there. sometimes i just lay on my bed (or the couch at 505) and stare off into the distance reliving my week in harmons. when i got there i had no idea how much it would impact me. when i first got there, i thought the week might go by kind of slowly, since we'd be working so much and i didn't know many people in my team going. looking back, i think that going on the trip to Jamaica was the best decision and biggest blessing i've experienced in college. i made a ton of friends, became a better person by serving God and His people, and i experienced an urge to do something big with my life. what exactly? i don't know.
i need to do laundry tonight, and i really enjoy that. i love the smell of laundry; sometimes so much that i can't go on talking or walking if i smell it. i have to stop and take it all in. it also gives me motivation to go work out with my clothes are in the washer.
i'd like to see the movie factory girl-- who's down?

| Tomorrow I have another small group meeting at 505 with some awesome girls. Last time we discussed our passions and how they're showing up in our lives. I didn't get to talk about mine, however, because our friend decided to put a box of fire in the house as a prank, and we decided to call it a night after that. I guess I'll talk about my passions this week in the small group, but really, I don't even know what to say. I love a lot of things, and I don't know what is really my passion. Most of the girls had really obvious passions that were very apparent in their lives right now... like how Lacy deeply cares about poverty and education. Erica cares about health care for people living in poverty, and she wants to be a doctor someday. Soph has passions out the wazoo, and she wants to save lives in third world countries like Erica. Rachel loves photography and is amazing at it. (Her dreams are coming true.) And me, well...
I don't seem to have one or two passions that encompass everything I do in life... I love a lot of things, like...
-cooking and baking. i'm trying to get really good at it. let me practice for you.
-humor. i love when people laugh at my silliness and i love when people are funny. if you're funny, i'll love you.
-art. i love painting, and i love paintings. i didn't really care about art until this semester since i have to learn about famous artists and art movements from the past. it's so amazing. how can anyone ever think of something new to be done, when there are so many ideas already used and yet so many thoughts and ways unexplored?
-friendships and deep relationships. i love deep conversations, especially over a good meal, or some good coffee/tea.
-nature. the beach, the mountains, the forests. it's all so beautiful. i miss jamaica and it's gorgous landscape.
-children. i want to adopt.
-scripture.
-community. i want to be better at living more simply; sharing what i have with my friends. i want to know others on deeper levels. not just my good friends.
-i hate poverty and disease. recently this has been weighing stronger on my heart, especially after my trip to jamaica and watching the invisible children documentary. why do we americans care about the most menial things? we should store up treasures in Heaven, not on earth.
-i passionately hate math.
-i hate pollution. i hate littering. i hate waste. recycling makes sense.
